Shakshouka

By Moushira Abdel-Malek

Ingredients:


5 large eggs
2 onions (thinly sliced)
2 tomatoes (thinly sliced)
butter or corn oil
salt + pepper + allspice

Method:

Heat some butter or oil in a wide saucepan. Add the onions and stir only until sautéed. Add the green pepper. Stir to smell its flavour. Add the tomatoes. Stir until it thickens and produces its juices. Season to taste. Crack the eggs, one at a time. Make room in the sauce for each egg. Allow some space between each one. When all five eggs are added to the sauce, season by sprinkling on top of each egg. Make sure each egg is kept intact. Cover the saucepan for a couple of minutes for eggs to be well done. Serve with baladi bread and feta cheese aside.
